In this episode, we bring back star guest Keyona Tartt to discuss African American Vernacular English. We play a great game of Would You Rather, and jump into a discussion of what AAVE is, why it is harmful, and some interesting examples (including Kombucha Girl). We consider the difference between AAVE, stan culture, and queer culture.
We suggest you watch these videos for more information: AAVE/Cultural Appropriation Youtube Playlist (link on our social media & website).
We also posted a link to a list of AAVE terms to avoid and what you can say instead: Alternatives and Substitutes for Appropriative or Problematic Language
